Lake Level / Dredging / Clam Chowder Party
by Dave Shearer 13 Jan '17

13 Jan '17

GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users. First of all, we will still be sending out contracts and autopay forms to those that are still in the water or are in one of the dry storage lots. We are behind on our schedule due to all the snow plowing we have been doing lately. On to better things now. We were on the water most of yesterday. While out there we noticed that the currents are very strong on the lake right now. Currents on the lake during the winter are usually very light to non-existent. Yet these currents are more like what we see in April during a year with strong spring runoff. This means we are getting a lot of water flowing into the lake. If you spend enough time on the lake you will start to be able to determine the fresh water flowing on top of the saltier base water. We are also seeing a lot of this too. There is a lot of pre-dredging activity going on right now. We plan to have an update on imminent dredging activity during the Harbor Master's Clam Chowder Social at the end of January. We will also have an update on what lake level predictions look like. Right now they look very positive. The Harbor Master's Clam Chowder social will be Saturday, January 28th at 1pm at the Great Salt Lake Marina. If weather permits, it will be over at my deck. Otherwise it will be at the Yacht Club. Please bring your favorite clam chowder recipe or side dish. Weather forecasts and water temperatures on www.gslmarina.com <http://www.gslmarina.com> will not be available from January 17th through the 27th. They will return on January 28th.

Snowpack today for the Great Salt Lake Drainage area? 159%! And a series of storms lined up! The annual Harbor Master Clam Chowder Social will be Saturday, January 28th 1pm at the Harbor Master's residence (my fifth wheel deck) or at the yacht club if weather is inclement.

Shrink Wrapping - Lake Level - Snow Pack
by Dave Shearer 27 Dec '16

27 Dec '16

If you would like to have the deck of your boat shrink-wrapped give Dave Ghizzone a call. He just did two of my boats and I am happy with the results. The last few storms have definitely helped out. We are now at 138% snowpack And the lake is showing signs it MAY be coming back up already. The south half was at an elevation of 4192.4' msl. The north half was at 4189.1' msl. Today the south half is back at 4192.3' msl after dropping to 4192.2' msl. That is only a 0.1 to 0.2' drop since the breach. And the north half has come 1.3' to a level of 4190.4' Dave Shearer Harbor Master Great Salt Lake State Marina Antelope Island State Marina 801-209-9142

Shrink Wrapping Boats
by Dave Shearer 20 Dec '16

20 Dec '16

I have heard back from the shrink wrapper I am thinking of using. Here are his prices Boats under 20' long: $10.00 a linear foot. Boats 20' or longer: $11.00 a linear foot. Credit card processing fee: 3% There could be extra costs if he has to move the mast or if there are any non-normal structures on your boat that you want to shrink wrap. He will do the boats on-site at the marina. I am going to go ahead and have him do my boat. If you are still interested in shrink wrapping your boats let me know and maybe we can set up a date where he can come out and do quotes for everyone. Or I will just give you his contact information and you and Dave can arrange all the details.

Shrink Wrapping Boats

15 Dec '16

In hopes of a big moisture producing winter I'm thinking of shrink wrapping my boat this winter. I am wondering if there are others that would be interested in shrink wrapping their boats too. If there is some interest let me know and I will see if we can work out some package pricing.
